We want to confirm the process/reason they are seeing repeated connections every 3 minutes to our linux servers during the backups being performed by Veeam.
All linux servers have oracle and no redo logs configured
Erased the Ip address on the 3r column which i actually Ip address of Veeam server
]$ last | grep "May 29"
l pts/4 Thu May 29 08:13 still logged in
f pts/4 Thu May 29 06:53 - 06:53 (00:00)
Initial findings:
Ip in the 3rd column is Veeam server
The started and end reported time is backup scheduled time
Conformed Backup processing time is reported in logs .
When backup is not running , I’ve checked on TestDB and the last login from Veeam was 07:49 – 07:52: and no 3 min repeated connections
oracle pts/1 Thu May 29 07:49 - 07:52 (00:03)
oracle pts/1 Thu May 29 07:46 - 07:49 (00:03)
I need to know why Veeam is making the repeated connections during the backup and not just connecting and staying connected
Is there a “keep alive” process or is the connection getting dropped causing it to need to reconnect?
We want to provide the information to management and security officer.
Please advise.
